Earth wanted their technology. The galaxy wanted their attention. The colony had other plans.

The world kept its promise. Every nuclear weapon — dismantled. Every warhead — destroyed. The terms have been met, and now the colony must keep its word.
But freedom is never simple.
As Christopher Wright and his people prepare to honor the agreement that has kept an uneasy peace between Earth and the stars, forces on both sides of that fragile line are pushing toward a confrontation that no treaty can prevent. The colony has grown. It has thrived. And it has quietly been reaching toward something the world below could never take from them — the universe itself.
For decades, the second generation has looked beyond the asteroid belt, beyond the solar system, beyond everything their parents built and fought to protect. Now, with a breakthrough that defies the limits of known science, the stars are no longer a dream…They are a destination!
The colony came from nothing. They built everything.
And no… Now they’re leaving.
